Kung Fu Action Theatre is a monthly podcast running since 2006 which has built an audience on telling action-adventure stories. We’ve been focused on Audio Drama (radioplays), but are now looking to showcase short fiction instead.

What do we want?

Historical adventure stories set in Asia or with an Asian element. Prose only, no scripts or poetry.

What will we do with them?

Read them into a microphone to turn them into audio fiction, and then stick them up in our podcast feed for our audience to enjoy.

Why should you submit your story to us?

We have an average of 7000 people downloading our podcast feed each month, do you want 7000 people to hear your story read and presented in a professional manner and showcased? Plus, we only want one-time audio rights (not print), the story is still yours, and you can do whatever you want with it. And on top of that, you get a Creative Commons licensed mp3 of your story you can do anything with except sell for money, like pass to publishers as a piece of promotional material to help get your work published elsewhere.

What do we get from this?

We like entertaining people and telling stories. It’s that simple. KFAT is non-profit, contains no advertising, and actually runs at a loss with only donations from listeners to help cover the costs. (Which by the way, they don’t. So feel free to donate!) We also want to promote the Asian adventure genres, because that’s what we love to read!

GLOBAL ARTS VILLAGE – INDIAhttp://www.globalartsvillage.org/residencies.htm—A residency can provide much needed time away from your normal environment and routine. You are encouraged to develop your work based upon your Indian experience and inspiration. The Village offers residency programs to emerging, mid-career and established artists. Residencies are offered for all major creative disciplines (visual, performing, literary, healing arts) and we also welcome professionals, researchers and scholars. Residents choose from standard, duplex or accommodations in administrative staff quarters and are provided with work studio space, three prepared vegetarian meals per day, laundry service, broadband wi-fi internet access and airport pick-up. Specific requirements, benefits, conditions and additional information are outlined within the program and facility descriptions. India is a land full of contrast, beauty and surprises. The residencies provide the perfect amount of time to absorb the Indian experience, create work and allow for travel time before or after the residency period. Selection Procedure: Applications are reviewed by a panel and selection is based upon your current body of work, project description, and motivation to develop your art, project, and/or work in India.

My own story is a member of the Wuxia family as it’s based on one of the early Wuxia classics, “The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.” If you’re interested in helping me polish the new opening I’ve made thanks to Tessa Elwood and Donna Hole (you ladies have my gratitude and a critique coming whenever you need it!), go to Mourn Their Courage and let me know if you have any questions.

Are you aware of any markets I should post about? (I’ll give you credit and many thanks.) Do you have a critique concern you’d like to share? Drop me a note and we can brainstorm.

Many thanks to Rashda Kahn for telling me about this via the Authors of Asian Novels group. Do you happen to have a story about a monk in your repertoire? Say no more! Rashda found a market for this little niche called “Monk Punk.” (Don’t you love that title?)
